Jessie J is giving fans an update of sorts after she was hospitalized for an apparent infection following her breast cancer diagnosis.
“I finally got a diagnosis of what’s been occurring. A lot of people have been asking, parent it’s called… Dramatic? I believe that’s the spelling,” she wrote via her Instagram stories on Sunday, August 3. “My symptoms are the identical and no idea what’s flawed yet. But my sarcasm and humorousness are holding on.”
The singer had previously shared that she had been hospitalized for what she first assumed to be a blood clot.
“How I spent the last 24 hours. 6 weeks past surgery and I used to be back in the identical ward I used to be [in] after my surgery. Not expected or planned,” the singer previously posted on Saturday, August 2. “I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on that lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD. They ran quite a lot of tests, which ended up showing I actually have an infection (still attempting to determine what) and a bit of fluid on my lungs. Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in [a] hospital) and can proceed the investigation as an outpatient.”
She continued, “I do know many individuals who could have passed through this or similar may agree with me on this or not and that’s OK. But I do know for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery. The recovery physically is way from quick or easy, and mentally it’s been essentially the most difficult time for me. Especially as a Mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I normally am. And having to vary the plans for my profession for this yr has been frustrating after working so hard to get so far and excited to do all of it. However it’s life, I do know that. And Don’t get me flawed getting the all clear was and is incredible. But that result didn’t speed up or make the recovery from surgery any easier physically.”
In April, the singer shared that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer after catching the illness early. She revealed she underwent a mastectomy to remove the disease, followed by breast reconstruction surgery.

“I would like to share it with my fans and the those that care about me, and likewise I’m a sharer. I’ve at all times shared every little thing that I am going through in my life,” she said in a video announcing her diagnosis, adding that she went “backwards and forwards” regarding her decision to share her health struggle publicly.
“Before ‘No Secrets’ got here out I used to be diagnosed with early breast cancer. I’m highlighting the word early,” she continued on the time. “Cancer sucks in any form but I’m holding on to the word early. I actually have been out and in of tests throughout this whole period.”
On Saturday, the singer said her recent hospitalization served as a “reminder to myself to slow tf down although I feel like I’m a [turtle] pace right away.”
“This isn’t a speedy recovery. And it isn’t meant to be,” she continued. “As an adhd Aries fire respiratory dragon t rex, I can do it to myself, I’m at all times okay woman. That slow pace has been a tough reality to just accept tbh. I really like moving and dealing and being up and lively but I can’t be right away, and that’s what it’s. And I’m finding the strength in knowing that every one will be adjusted to align with a slower pace and support of my very small inner support circle. UKWYA. Thanks. My body and immune system said ‘Sit down di**head.’”
